VERSE 1

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Do men gather grapes of thorns,

Or figs of thistles?

Even so all good trees grow good fruit.

But a bad tree grows evil fruit.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

CHORUS

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing.

Beware of false prophets, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Beware of false prophets, hear my words, heed my warning.

Beware of false prophets, or there’ll be darkness in the morning.

VERSE 2

A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit

And a bad tree cannot yield good fruit.

Judge them not by their words, but by their deeds.

Every tree that brings not forth good fruit

Is cut down, and cast into the fire.

Those who make war have not sown good seeds

VERSE 3

If you follow the things that I’ve said.

You’ll be just like a wise man, who built his house upon a rock.

But if you do not follow these things.

You’ll be like the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

BRIDGE

Blessed are the peacemakers. (Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth)

Blessed are the peacemakers. (Shock an’ awe. Shock an’ awe.)

Blessed are the peacemakers. (Crucify him. Crucify him.)
